Not that anybody uses these forums much, but I figured I'd post here to see if I can't get some interest going.

I'm interested in running one last game of Shadowrun 4th as the edition comes to a close. I'm thinking about running a game set in post-occupation San Francisco, about 2074 in SR timeline. In the spirit of simplifying the rules and attracting new players, we'll be doing things at a bit of a lower starting point than the usual 400 point characters. I'm thinking of limiting characters to 300 points at chargen and having the group come together in the Oakland/Berkley barrens turf.

Man, magic, and machine. Interested? Drop me a line. Right now I'm thinking Thursdays or Sundays will work best for me, but let me know your availability and I'm sure we can work something out.

I love SR, and am totally down to play. Either day works for me, I do have most of the books as pdfs that I'm totally willing to share with the group for creation.

Sounds like a plan. I have The Runners Toolkit on pdf, it includes a character creation option called PACKS where instead of buying everything the normal way, it's more like plug in packages so it'll tell you the build point cost and what you get. If you want I can email that to you so you can look at it.

As long as I don't have have to shell out for a bunch of 4th ed books I would be willing to join in

Shelling out for the books is absolutely not required. I've got a hard copy of the 20th Anniversary corebook, and have most of the 4e supplements as PDFs.

Now that it's looking like this might actually happen, I'm gonna put my GM hat on and write up a quick primer with some region-appropriate fluff and character creation guidelines. I'll look to schedule an intro session sometime in the next couple weeks.

You're not strictly required to read the above, but it might help you think up ideas for your characters. If you're unfamiliar with the Shadowrun setting, I'd also recommend you take a look at the corebook, particularly the intro sections on how the world has changed with the advent of magic and the matrix. All of this is strictly optional, however.

We're going to be starting off in the Orkland Barrens, so it'll be a bit more of a street-level game, at least initially. Here are your character creation guidelines:

300 BP or 500 Karma if using KarmagenFree knowledge skill points equal to 3x(Logic+Intuition)Free BP for Contacts equal to 2xCharismaMaximum Availability 10/10R/10F for gear. Taking the Restricted Gear Quality likewise allows you a single piece of equipment at 18/18R/18F per rating point.

Any questions, post them here or PM me directly. I'd like to get the ball rolling on this soon, so how about a first meeting this coming Sunday, April 28th, at the store at around 2pm? We'll be able to meet, discuss characters, and get a party going.
